lfinkenkeller 's review for:
Portrait of a Thief
by Grace D. Li
The plot of this story is that Harvard senior, Will Chen, and four other college students decide to steal five Chinese sculptures from 5 different museums around the world. They are doing this because museums across the world display works of art that are stolen from other countries. Will and his crew want to help change this by stealing the sculptures and giving them back to Beijing and the Old Summer Palace.
What makes this novel worth reading are the themes of repatriation and what it means to be a Chinese-American that Ms Li explores.
